 Coalitional manipulation on networksBiung-Ghi Ju () Journal of Economic Theory, 2013, vol. 148, issue 2, 627-662 Abstract: We study allocation rules that are robust to coalitional manipulation by transferring, merging, or splitting individual characteristics among coalition partners (e.g. merging or splitting claims in bankruptcy problems). Coalition formation is restricted by an exogenous network (a non-directed graph) so that only connected subsets of agents can form a coalition. We offer a full characterization of non-manipulable rules without any assumption on the network structure. This result yields a variety of useful corollaries for specific networks such as complete network, trees, and networks without a “bridge”, and corollaries for specialized models dealing with bankruptcy, surplus sharing, cost sharing, income redistribution, social choice with transferable utility, etc. Keywords: Allocation problem; Coalitional manipulation; Network; Reallocation-proofness; No advantageous reallocation; Strategy-proofness; Non-manipulability by merging or splitting (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:eee:jetheo:v:148:y:2013:i:2:p:627-662 DOI: 10.1016/j.jet.2012.07.002 Access Statistics for this article Journal of Economic Theory is currently edited by A.
